Nourishing, Tempting Food That’s Easy to Prepare
As soon as I opened Love What’s On Your Plate–Wholesome Recipes to Cherish & Share by Stephanie Valentine, I wanted to cook from it from the first recipe, Chimichurri. Delicious with roasted veggies from @MelissasProduce.

Enjoying Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins like I’ve Never Had Before!
Made with almond flour & no sugar.
Recipe from Beth Bollinger of @nestwellness_
You prepare strawberry rhubarb jam, & fold it into the batter. So good- I would eat it on its own with yogurt.

Our plant-based hash with crispy polenta! It's made with soyrizo and polenta from @MelissasProduce, and I love it. Colorful vegetables--red and yellow peppers, zucchini, yellow squash--make it healthy and sweet!
Serve it for breakfast, when camping or at any summer holiday.

Shishito Peppers Have Become a New Favorite of Mine!
Lately I’ve been eating them every day! I roast them in my air fryer toaster oven. In case one is hot, I serve them with a yogurt and peanut butter sauce.
So yum!
